Data Recovery and Deletion

Data retention is becoming a requirement for compliance with an ever-increasing number of laws and regulations. This provides transparency for possible investigations and data discovery efforts. On the other hand, many of those same regulations require secure deletion of outdated confidential information. Even if your company is not required to do so, it is prudent to exercise due care in the retention and disposal of information.

Data Recovery

Data loss often occurs either as a result of accidental deletion or as a result of media failure (e.g., hard drive crash). Because deleted files are not actually removed from the storage medium, Pixelogiq can usually recover data lost due to accidental or intentional deletion. In the case of drive failures, we have partnered with Kroll Ontrack to provide advanced data recovery solutions.

Backup Solutions

People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Hard drives wear out; dye-based CDs become corrupted; humans make mistakes. Without effective backup systems, your company could lose business-critical information with catastrophic effects. Pixelogiq can examine your current strategy and help you improve them. We also can help you implement more robust storage solutions such as RAID and SAN storage.

Secure Deletion

Sometimes you may need to ensure that deleted data is really gone, as when preparing media for recycling. Without secure deletion methods, confidential information may be recovered by unauthorized persons. We provide non-destructive secure data overwriting services, as well as magnetic degaussing and certified physical destruction services through our partner companies.

Forensic Analysis

When most people hear the word forensics, they think of criminal investigations. While that is one application of the technology, forensic methods may also be used to determine employee wrongdoing or to investigate network intrusions. Pixelogiq is trained in proper forensic techniques, including forensic duplication, recovery of deleted files, free-space carving, and others. Let us uncover suspect activity without sullying the evidence.
